Helping in Katelyn's classroom

Since I'm a temporary stay-home mom (not sure if I'm going back to work) I've decided to volunteer in Katelyn's classroom. To start, it's on Tuesdays and Fridays in the afternoon with Katelyn coming home with me instead of taking the bus. Yesterday was my first day EVER helping out in a classroom and I had a great time. It was even better because Katelyn enjoyed me being there and I was able to take Sarah with me. Sarah was a hit with all the kids. When it got really quiet, Sarah would start making raspberry noises. All the kids, even Miss Pridemore, starting laughing. It was a great day.

It looks like she saw a ghost.



Sarah's first solids

Last night Sarah tried her first solids. It was only rice cereal with formula mixed together but she was ify about it. She gagged but some of it went down. And of course she spit some out. So cute.



Sarah is wondering WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING ME?



Maybe it's not so bad.

Eli and Sarah

Eli is Gosia's (go-sha) little boy. Gosia lives across the street from me and her daughter Melina (me-lay-na) goes to school with Katelyn. These are the first picture of the two together. Eli is 6 weeks old and Sarah is 5 months. They are so cute together!!



Sarah is trying to roll over but Eli is in the way.





Cuddling with Eli.



Sarah's playdate with the Peters boys

On Sept. 20th, Sarah and I went to my good friend Aymee's house for cookies, coffee and to chit-chat. Aymee's boys are getting so big!!

Jude is 9 months and Sarah is 5 months.

Katelyn's first soccer game

This Katelyn's 4th season of soccer and the teams are bigger. Instead of 4 girls there are 8 girls. This season they have to take turns being goalie. Being goalie you have to have beable to stand in one area but you also have to stay focused on the ball to keep the other team from scoring.

Here is a great "action shot" of Katelyn with the ball.



Posing for pictures.

 This season there is a ref that keeps score. We had a great first game.

Katelyn's first day of 2nd grade

Our "little girl" is in 2nd grade this year. Katelyn is going to Arthur Jacobsen Elementary and it is just 5 mins from home. But like all of her friends, she has been taking the bus in the morning and in the afternoon. I know it's just a quick drive to drop her off, it's actually been nice and convient to have the bus outside the door. Katelyn picked out her own outfit for her first day. So grown up!!



Here she is walking into school. She is as tall as the princepal.




Here she is after school. All smiles.



The circus

Ok so the circus was a month ago, but here are some pictures.

 It was a lot of fun. It was Sarah first circus and napped a few times and she was such a good girl.
